Info on the windows 'cool-switch' feature

Curley_Boy

Is there any way of cycling through the list of applications backwards, using the cool switch (alt+tab) feature in Windows? It's really annoying when the program i want to access is behind the program that has the focus on the alt+tab list and i have to scroll through the whole lot.

x86 OS, RAM, & Virtual Machines

Myke

I feel pretty certain that virtual machines use alloted RAM based on the RAM that is currently installed on the host machine. If I am wrong, please let me know, as that will probably answer my question, which is this: x86 operating systems can only use a maximum of 4 GB of RAM, plain and simple.
